Jody came the same day I called for bee removal from my fence. He was professional, explained all that he would do and all work needed to be done. He called before he came, went to work right away. He sent me pictures of the hive. I appreciate all he has done for me! Thanks, Jody read more

This is hands down the best bee removal service around! We had a nasty swarm of bees show up and set up shop in our back yard close to the house and next to Our 3 young kids playset. Yeah, just like anyone who's reading this right now I was thinking WTF am I going to do? I called several places but since it was towards the end of the day, most of them either didn't call back or wanted to charge an outrageous amount. Talk about feeling like being taken advantage of during a time of duress. Anyways, to the point. Out of the 6 companies I called, 2 of them called back and Bee Removal Expert was clearly the top choice. I can't express how knowledgeable and enthusiastic this dude was about his work. It's very rare to find prompt responsive experts with passion and reasonable pricing, regardless of their service or expertise. Told me he was on another job but could be to my place in approx 45 mins, showed up in 25 mins, 20 mins earlier than expected, couldn't have been happier. Charged me a fair price, took out the bee hive in the tree in my back yard next to my 3 young daughters play house. Guarenteed his work and got er' done. Sincerely couldn't have been any happier with the outcome. If bee swarms are all about loyalty to the queen bee I'm all about the loyalty to the King of Bee Removal. Thank you! Trust you will not go wrong calling this company to take care of your bee removal needs. read more

Exterminator Extraordinaire - Pest Control Near Me

We've been going to Jody for our bee issues at our house. Our deck invites swarms almost yearly so we've met with him more than once, including a instance where he removed a bee hive and wasp nest. Jody is very personable, honest and has great customer service (as well as a great photographic memory). If you have a bee problem, I highly recommend Jody's company. I've never met a person who knew more about bees, great resource. read more

I called these people on Monday and left a message. 24 hours later and still never got a call back. I called again and still no response. I have three dogs that enjoy being outside, but my tree had a beehive so there was no way I was going to let them outside to play. I don't understand how this business is in operation when the person who supposedly calls right back, doesn't do their job. I give them a -10 for running the worst business in Burbank. BTW, I called another bee removal service who actually answered the phone and was at my house within 15 minutes. read more

This is your bizzzzzzzz-nizzzzzzzzzzz (ok, didn't work) if your house is buzzing with pissed-off beeeeeezzzzzz like ourzzzzzz wazzzz. And I do mean was. Jody climbed up our steep-ass driveway on foot and gave us an estimate for removing an age-old hive embedded in a tall wooden beeeee-m, then honored his price the next morning, which I beeeee-lieve was a Saturday morning. The bees were getting super angry, and I think I'm allergic (my father is and I've inherited all his allergies except strawberries), so we HAD to get rid of them, and Jody is just great at gettin' 'em gone. Theeezzzee beeeeeezzzz come back every year, and I bet they're gone for good now. By the way, Jody uses organically derived products that won't harm you or your pets. I mean, you can't lick the stuff or anything ... at least not for a few days ... I do think this may be the cheesiest review I've ever written. Maybe he missed a singular bee that stung my ass while I slept ... read more

I telephoned Exterminator Extraordinaire (www.bee-removal-expert.com) this afternoon at 2:00pm regarding some honey bees that had been mysteriously making their way in to our home. Jody, the owner, answered the telephone himself and was very helpful. He sensed my obvious anxious state and concern over the intruders and said he would be happy to meet me at my home in two hours. I was most impressed by his concern and apparent knowledge, which was echoed upon his arrival. Jody was punctual and very polite. He inspected my home and quickly found the access points. Moreover, Jody was very honest and put me at ease by explaining the nuances of my situation and the best way to correct it. He did his work well and went the extra mile to make certain there would not be any future occurrences or problems. I recommend this business to you with confidence. Jody truly lives up to his namesake of the Exterminator Extraordinaire. He is personable, polite, and professional. read more

Jody is THE BEST. My husband and I got the unpleasant surprise of finding a colony of bees when we were moving into our new house. The bees had literally hollowed out an entire branch of the tree in our front yard. I am so glad I came across Jody's business through Yelp. He came out the following day and explained what he was going to do and what would happen over the next couple of days after treatment. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in his work, something I very much appreciate it. About 6 months after the treatment, I noticed some bees gathering in front of the house, near my garage. Afraid that the bees had made a comeback, I immediately called Jody. He asked me some questions and assured me that there was nothing to worry about and no need for him to go out. He explained that it was swarming season and that it was common to see bees grouped together the way I had described. I really appreciated his honesty - another company might have tried to convince me that work needed to be done and charged me. I called him about a month ago for a property I had listed (I am a realtor). At the first open house a couple of people had mentioned they heard bees in one of the trees in the backyard. I called Jody and he again assured me that no action was necessary since it was swarming season. However, I did not want the liability of potential buyers walking through the house and coming into contact with bees so he agreed to come check out the situation the same day (literally within 2 hours). After about a minute looking at the tree he again said that it was swarming season and no further action needed to be taken. Sure enough 2 days later, the bees were gone. It's rare to find someone as honest and knowledgeable as Jody. He has secured himself a loyal client, he is the best! read more

They came as promised. They took my hive , cleaned up and left. So thankful for your wonderful service

We are having some remodeling done in our house and one of the guys discovered 10 bees or so in the attic yesterday evening. We were immediately worried that there may be more so we called this company ASAP. Jody picked up and said he would be at our house in the morning (he couldn't come in the evening and do a proper evaluation because of the lack of sunlight). He gave us a detailed run down on the phone of all the potential problems and pricing and said he would tell us again in the morning the cost prior to doing any work. He came this morning and took a look around the house with his binoculars and luckily, we didn't have any issues aside from bees entering the attic during swarming season because we don't have screens. He suggested adding some screens. He spent about 30 minutes at our house and didn't charge us for his time even though he seriously assuaged our concerns!!!! Thank you Jody!!! read more

Jody is GREAT! My gardner discovered a wasp's nest by accident : ( It was scary, there were hundreds of angry yellow jackets. I went right to yelp, called this company LATE on Friday afternoon and Jody was here promptly (1 hr) and I don't live anywhere near Burbank. His charge was very reasonable and he did an excellent and professional job. Thanks, Jody! You rock! read more

Jody answered the phone at 7AM on the dot. Asked me some clear questions about my issue and about my home so he could quote me an accurate price. He gave me an estimated ETA and was at my home 30 mins earlier than quoted (which I always appreciate.) After further inspection of the issue he re-quoted me a lower cost. Jody's honesty and job completion have made me a customer for life. Thank you and highly recommended. read more

Fantastic service by Jody. I called him after lunchtime today and he was here within 30 mins! He sprayed down the eaves of the house, knocked off all the spider webs, carefully moved my furniture to make sure they didn't get any spray on them and removed the wasps nest. Couldn't recommended him more. Great job! I'll definitely call him again if those pesky wasps decide to make my home their home again! read more

So, I called a bunch of exterminators searching for the best deal I could find. It seemed that everybody I spoke with was either very rude, would take way too long to get back to me, or not even get back to me at all. That definitely wasn't the case when I spoke with Jody. Not only did he stand out because of his welcoming attitude, but he was super knowledgeable and understanding about the situation. When he ended up coming to my work to take care of the situation, there was no hive to be found. Even though that was the case, he took time to educated me on why they might be showing up and what precautions I could take. Oh yeah, and he didn't even ask for any payment, since there was no removal. All this to say, Jody is not only good at his job, but a super friendly and pleasant person. You should definitely go to him for any of your extermination needs. BTW, if you find yourself in a similar situation, not needing him to labor or remove anything, tip him well for his time; he deserves it. read more

Just going to echo what everyone says about Jody and the way he runs his company...he responded within 24 hours. Came over and identified my issue which was paper wasp queens (3 individual queens setting up shop all around the perimeter of my house!). Then took care of it then and there! He is very kind and very thorough. He explained everything he was doing and told me if they came back within 30 days he would come and re-spray. It's been over 30 days and I haven't had any issues! I will call him again next spring when I'm sure the wasps will try to come back. Highly recommend this business! read more

Jody was great! He was at my house about 45 minutes after we talked on the phone. He inspected the area and found where the bees are entering the house. He sprayed inside hole hole and removed bees. He also plugged the hole and sprayed around the area to make sure they don't come back. Overall a great customer experience! Would highly recommend them! read more

Where to begin? We had bees move into our house, literally between the stone facing and the front of the house - right next to my front door a few months ago. I kept hoping they would go away, and they didn't. We kinda got used to them and I hated the idea of killing them, with all the talk on FB about saving them, etc, but what we didn't know is that they were Africanized bees. After months of trying to get rid of them ourselves, I called yesterday and Jody said he could come by at 4 pm. He not only arrived on time, it took him less than an hour to get rid of my bee problem, for the same price he has on his website and confirmed on the phone. He explained what he was going to do, and what we could expect over the next few days. I will definitely call him again, and would highly recommend him. THANK YOU! We love our "bee free" zone walking into our house :) read more

It all started with a giant tree branch falling off in our front yard. After having an arborist look at the tree, we determined the tree had to be removed as soon as possible. However, the arborist pointed out that there was a beehive visible at the top of the tree and no work could start until it was removed, and that's what sent us to Yelp and here... My husband called Jody at lunchtime, which he picked up. They spoke, discussed the problem and he agreed to come out at 4pm the same day. Two hours later, after discovering the tree was riddled with active and dead bee colonies, Jody had taken care of the bees and all the hive material to prevent other bees from trying to scavenge it (he is also a recycle-reuser, he will use the material to make candles). He also cleaned up as much as possible, given the broken tree debris. Overall, given the situation we found ourselves in, Jody made it as painless as possible, he was courteous and punctual. He also guarantees his work for 30 days for the entire property in case the bees come back! Thanks read more

WOW! This guy is amazing! I called him on Saturday afternoon and he came out on a Sunday evening to accommodate my work schedule! He was professional, presented himself well and handled my problem immediately. He took a look at the bee's that had invaded my wall, told me the problem, gave me a simple quote (no extra's or surprises) and I gave him the ok. An hour later my problem was solved! He even took the time to explain to me how the bee's work and how he would respond to what he did. I definitely recommend the Exterminator Extraordinaire! Update: 6-2-12 After a couple of week's I noticed some bee's had returned to the side of my house. After one phone call, so did the Exterminator Extraordinaire! No questions, no problems, he honored his warranty, came out and got rid of the new bee's with no problem! This guy is worth every penny! Highly recommended!!!!!!! read more

Jody was wonderful! He came out the same day and took out a wasp's nest that sprung up outside my kitchen window what seemed like overnight. He definitely knew his stuff- and thankfully was able to take out the nest in no time. This was such a big relief since I'm very pregnant and seeing wasps move in outside my house was definitely unsettling. Little did I know peace of mind was only a phone call away with Jody! read more

Great communication, reliable, professional, called me back even though business was closed for the day. Took care of the beehive outside my house the following morning. Highly recommend it for anyone who needs their beehives removed. Love the 30 day warranty service on top. Excellent. Thanks! read more

Great experience. We called on a Sunday after finding a swarm on our outside fence. Eloy was able to come the following afternoon and carefully removed a few planks of the fence, which revealed an enormous beehive that had clearly been growing unnoticed for weeks. He was able to capture the queen bee for relocation and then replaced all fencing properly. All bees were gone within 12 hours. read more

OK. This is my first ever posting to Yelp. But after what Jody did for us, I had to let others know what a great job he did. We had a nest of honey bees in the pepper tree over our patio. At first it was just a nuisance. Then more bees came. Then a new nest appeared in the ceiling of our garage. Now the garage was unusable. Then the bees in the pepper tree escalated their activity level from nuisance to major pest. Yikes! I tried to spray the nests with pesticides from a local hardware store. But all I succeeded in doing was making the bees mad and probably killing a bunch of my liver cells from the fumes. Things were not going well. Then my wife found Exterminator Extraordinaire in the phone book and she checked them out on Yelp. We called Jody and he came out to give us an estimate. I was skeptical over the low cost. But I had already tried and failed myself. So this was already plan Bee. We decided to give him a shot. A few days later, Jody came over to do the actual removal. It was a beastly hot August day, probably close to 100 F. Jody donned his space suit and went to work. My wife kept offering him cold drinks, but he had his own supply. Both nests proved to be bigger than they appeared from the outside. He ended up working all day and late into the evening. All this time, he had to stay in his space suit, which must have been very uncomfortable on such a hot day. When he finally finished, it was after nine in the evening. He gave us the bill. It matched his estimate, with no uppers, even though he had worked hours longer than planned. Through all this, he was polite, friendly, and completely business like. The bees have not returned. What else can I say? I you have a bee problem, call Exterminator Extraordinaire. It's the last call you will have to make. read more

Excellent experience! We called last night regarding a wasp nest that needed to be removed asap. They were very quick to call me back and came out first thing this morning. Friendly, thorough with the job, and they care about the work they do. Not "bells & whistles" or fancy type company...Just bare bones, get the job done and done well!! We will keep their contact info on hand should we need assistance in the future. read more

My redwood deck was infested with carpenter bees. Everytime I stepped into my backyard, I had to dodge these large insects who were flying to their nests inside several of the supporting deck beams. One call to Jody who promptly showed up at my home the next day and using non-toxic chemicals got rid of the carpenter bees. Now I can safely walk out into my backyard again. Jody is a pro, his prices are very reasonable, and he can regale you with great stories. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. read more

I called Jody recently when my kitchen was invaded by bees. Just before calling him, I had one of the major national pest-control services come out. I was not impressed with them, however, because they had to consult with a third party over the phone who knew more about bees than they did. Based on their phone consultation and without inspecting, they assumed there was a hive in the vent and quoted me a very high price. When I mentioned that their price seemed high, they immediately brought out the paperwork for financing. Their focus seemed to be on getting me to sign a contract to have them come out on a regular basis to inspect for pests. They seemed far more interested in taking my money than doing a professional job getting rid of my immediate problem, which was the bees. I decided against them. As soon as they left, I yelped and found Jody. He came out the same afternoon. He was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous (as well as kind of funny). He got up on the roof, looked into the vent, and saw that there was no hive, although plenty of bees inside. He got rid of the bees, fixed the top of the vent so no further bees could enter, and fixed a second vent on the roof as well. He did all this quickly, cleanly, and charged me his minimum price, which turned out to be less than 1/3 what the national chain wanted. Plus he gave me a 30-day warranty on any further bee activity, including if a new hive did appear. I highly recommend Exterminator Extraordinaire. I couldn't imagine calling anyone else. read more

Just a straight up good dude running a legit company! He took care of our bee/wasp needs on 2 separate occasions. No nonsense + takes care o' business right quick. Will call again, no doubt! Many thanks & much appreciated. read more

Fasty reply via quote online through yelp. Thanks for getting in touch and walking me through.

I discovered a wasp nest in the back of the house and called & left a message for Jody. He called back within 24 hours and after getting a price quote, set up an appointment for him to come by & remove it. Since I am a night owl who cannot do morning appointments easily, he was very accommodating of my schedule, and gave me the last appointment of the day. He arrived a few minutes early this afternoon, and I couldn't answer the door because I was still in the shower. I was afraid he might think no one was home and leave, as my little rescue guard dog was also barking her head off, but when I opened the front door, I was glad to find him & his associate sitting patiently on the bench in the front yard. He was very kind about my not being ready for him, and said it was very pleasant sitting out on the bench. I opened the gate to let the two gentlemen into the back, and they looked around the entire house to make sure there weren't any other nests. I walked Jody back to where the wasp nest was located and upon seeing it, he immediately halved the rate he had originally quoted me -- without my having to ask! My wallet and I were very thankful. We stayed indoors while he got rid of the wasp net, and a few minutes later he rang the doorbell to say he was done and that he had cleaned up the area, but that we should not go to that area for about an hour until the chemicals had evaporated. His honesty, as well as his punctuality & friendly professionalism, won me over and I highly recommend Jody. He also did not ask me to leave him a review, which I respected tremendously, as I don't ever leave reviews for anyone who asks me to. Jody deserves all the 5 star reviews in here, and I am very happy to add one more. read more

I had about 50,000 bees show up one Tuesday afternoon and try to make a home underneath my house. One exterminator i found on here said he couldn't even help because of how difficult the extraction would be. So i called Exterminator Extraordinaire. The price quoted was a bit higher than i expected, but honestly, after seeing what an incredibly thorough job he did, I think it was quite a bargain. He spent nearly a day and a half making sure every last piece of bee tainted material was cleaned, both from the current infestation and previous hives in the area. He had to remove a lot of drywall and sheetrock to get it all, but he replaced it all nicely and I feel confident that I will be bee free from here on out! Thanks Jody! read more

Jody is absolutely great! Very knowledgeable, experienced and on point. He doesn't just handle bees. In our case he took care of a cockroach assault on our kitchen and could not have been better. We will use him anytime some little critters get out of control and highly recommend him to anyone with a bug problem. We appreciated his direct, helpful, affordable, and no BS approach. read more

Jody came to my home today to get rid of some very nasty wasps! He did a great job and my home is now wasp free! He's such a nice man, very personable and I recommend him highly. Thanks, Jody, for a job very well done! read more

I'm late writing this review, but in May I discovered a wasp nest in the eaves over my front door. I called and left a message for Jody and he called me right back. Set up an appointment for the next day or so. He arrived on time, took a look around the property and found another nest high up in the eaves. He explained the whole process to me for removing the nests. Took about 15 minutes to get rid of them and we're now into August and they haven't come back. Jody was super professional, friendly and chill. Totally satisfied and when wasp season rolls around next year I'm gonna call Jody! read more

I called Jody on behalf of my mother to remove some bees that had taken up residence in her house. My mother is super difficult and nearly impossible to please. The fact that she actually thanked me profusely for calling Jody is testament to his skill, his great pricing, and his great demeanor. He responded to my online quote request within two hours, and he arrived on my mother's property the same day. read more
